  1. Specialty Tracks USING THE FORCE! Fundamental Organizational Reform using Computers and Equivalency skills Colonel Jay Burrell, CAP NHQ PDO – Specialty Tracks

  2. Changes

  3. Insanity • Doing the Same Thing in the Same Way and expecting Different Results is Insanity!

  4. What is the FORCE?

  5. You are all JEDI • J Journeymen • E Exercising • D Developmental • I Instruction • Specialty Track Training transitions you from apprentice to master!

  6. The FORCE is what again? • F Fundamental • O Organizational • R Reform using • C Computers and • E Equivalency skills • This is what will permeate all the training we do. It will provide computerized learning modules and accelerated training for Military, Work and Educational Equivalency.

  7. How It Works • 1) All training concepts for every specialty track is broken down into their individual elements Knowledge, Activity, Service. • 2) Activities are given corresponding codes representing the Specialty Track and progress with in the track. • 201A-T-A001 would be the first activity at the Technician Rating in specialty track 201. • 201C-M-A001 would be the first activity at the Master Rating in specialty track 201. • Knowledge would be tested in the Technician, Senior and Master Rating Test module. • 3) Equivalency would be granted for certain aspects of training or accelerated training. • Military, work or educational experience would provide equivalency skill sets for training requirements. • Military, work or educational experience would reduce the time required in the specialty track. • Technician level may be 3 months instead of 6 • Senior level may be 6 months instead of 12 • Master level may be 9 months instead of 18

  8. The SQTR Concept • Cadet Programs • Current Taskings and Changes

  9. The SQTR Concept • Cadet Programs

  10. Cross Training Element • There are numerous overlapping training requirements for each specialty track. The FORCE allows us to recognize these overlapping areas and provide credit for completion across multiple specialty tracks! • Mentoring an individual to the Technician Rating would provide credit across all specialty tracks requiring this. • Achieving level 2 (Davis Award) would give credit to all specialty tracks requiring this. • NOTE: You still need to complete unique training requirements in each specialty track. This simply gives you a head start or credit for previously learned concepts.

  11. Specialty Track Commonalities

  12. Equivalency • College Courses that would provide Equivalency for example in Cadet programs: • • CIP 13: Education • • CIP 28: Military Science, Leadership, and Operational Art • • CIP 30: Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies, General • • CIP 31: Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Fitness Studies

  13. Equivalency • Having a related degree would allow the person to complete a rating(s) in half the time required for those with no experience. • An associate degree or industry credential would coordinate with the technician level. • A bachelor’s degree would coordinate with the senior level. • A master’s degree or higher would coordinate with the master level.

  14. Equivalency • For years of work experience, it would be like job descriptions that request a desired degree or certain number of years of relevant work experience. • Three years of work experience would coordinate with the technician level. • Five years of work experience would coordinate with the senior level. • Ten years of work experience would coordinate with the master level. • Having years of related work experience would allow the member to complete a rating(s) in half the time required for those with no experience.

  15. Equivalency • Military specialties can be evaluated for college credit. The ACE system helps identify what degree fields are related to a specialty. In Addition: • We can use badges earned in related areas for more rapid advancement in specialties. • Technician: A member with a basic badge in a military specialty would progress through technician in half the normal time. • Senior: A member with a senior badge in a military specialty would progress through technician and senior levels in half the normal time. • Master: A member with a master badge in a military specialty would progress through technician, senior, and master ratings in a related specialty in half the normal time.

  16. The Bottom Line • Consistent and Progressive Training • Logical course of study from Technician to Master. • Progressively more difficult material as you progress. • Training developed by experts to guide your progression through stages. • NOT On the Job Training (OJT) • No short cuts • No tricks of the trade • No bias or holding back secret information • No partial information or learning just one aspect of the job • The ability to learn at your own pace through computer training Coaching and Mentoring

  17. The Bottom Line • Becoming the Subject Matter Expert • You become the resident expert in your field. • You can go anywhere and plug in at any level. • You can advance in new and different Specialty Track Areas at the same time! • You can help mentor others

  18. The Bottom Line • SQTR type training allows credit across multiple specialty tracks! • Easy to follow Activity and Task based training by level! • Knowledge requirements covered by on line testing at the end of each specialty track level. • Credit for Life Experience and Educational Training accelerates or even eliminates the need for certain specialty track training. • Equivalency training already being evaluated for certain areas • Reduced time in position being granted for Military, Work and Educational Experience.

  19. The Bottom Line • Specialty Tracks provide Consistently Competent People. • Anyone with a Specialty Track Training Level can go anywhere in CAP and immediately assume a job. • Commanders can be confident that a Master Rated individual will require little to no oversight in their Specialty Track area! • Relevance is KEY!!! Training changes and technology becomes a critical element in all training. Just because you learned it once doesn’t mean you have maintained the skills necessary to do the job today?

  20. Be All You Can Be • USAF Distance Learning • Squadron Officers School (Captain or below) • Air Command and Staff College (Major or Lieutenant Colonel) • Air War College (Lieutenant Colonel and above)

  21. The End QUESTIONS!
